    I still don't get it about Armories.

    Most DC Comics super-heroes have a secret identity.
    They change into their super-hero gear when they go fight crime and then they change back when they go back into their secret ID.

    City of Heroes DEVs understood it. You were given additional slots as you leveled up.

    But then DCUO doesn't seem to understand super-hero gamers wanting to make more than 1 character it seems.

    I really can't understand why it is so hard to understand that one Armory is pretty useless and you need two in order for the system to work - one to hold your secret ID and one to hold your super-hero gear (even for those that don't give a crap about comics but are playing the game - one for PVE and one of PVP makes sense).

    I know what some will say - "just stop whining and buy one. It's not that expensive."

    I have maxed out to the 32 characters slots. (and believe me, I had more than 139 masks in THE CITY) I unsubscribed, had to delete or store a bunch, came back into All Access refilled them all, and have already deleted a couple of characters to check out new concepts.
    So to buy an additional Armory for each of the characters I create is ridiculous.

    The armor system is useless as it is.
    Make a tier price of me to buy an additional Armory for All my characters (including the ones that I will probably make after deleting other ones on my account) and then, maybe, the Armory system will make sense.

    But then, it doesn't seem to be understood why players would want to play more than a character or two in this game and pay for name changes, power set change, etc. instead.

    I have collected a ton of base items :) and many of those base items I know I will never use to decorate my base. Wouldnt it be cool if we could hide those items so we don't have to see them on the list, just like we hide missions we don't want to see. :)

    For me, the armories I have are mostly for outfits. Sure there are a couple for pve, a couple for pvp. But all 4 have different loadouts.
    But armories, for several of the people I've interacted with in game, are mostly just for outfit styles.
    Why? Because a lot of people don't want to stay bound to one costume.
    In the comics there are heroes and villains both that change their costume all the time and on DCUO it is the same thing. Armories are for the ease of going to the base and changing the outfit quick and simple, instead of remembering the costume styles and color codes and doing it manually.
    And I care the most about my main. I created others to play the game from each point of view sure, but now I mostly use them for inventory space since my main doesn't have it. Playing them on events and playing one of my villains when an update comes out.

    Power set change? That has a use. After all, when the water power came out I created an alternate with the water power and if I had been good enough with that one I'd've probably bought a power set change for my main. Because it's my main. Sure I experimented with it first for free, but I would've changed the power if I'd liked it. Why start over and work again to get them up when I can change it?

    I will give you name changes though. I don't see a point in that. What, did they need to change their hero/villain identity for witness protection?

    I completely agree. I have thought the same thing more than once. Everyone needs to push for this.

    Same here. Ran typhons area and the shades mission. Ran aoj area (both a51 and war torn village) ran amusement mile area and no problems.

    Tried to teleport into earth 3 and now I'm stuck in load screen until it comes up...

    The world is currently down for maintenance. Please try again. <0x000E>
